Could be wrong, but my understanding was that any issues with Pine weren't 
an issue if your users had shell access in the first place.  That is, one 
of the problems was if you drop your users right into pine (or via some 
restricted shell) it's possible for them to drop into a sub shell, etc. 
from within pine.

Could be wrong though.
